* BenevolentAlienInvasion: Oddly, the film reveals things are ''better'' when everyone is controlled by alien parasites. They may have less emotion, but world peace breaks out and America finally passes universal healthcare. After the cure is dispersed, things go back to normal. Near the beginning a Russian diplomat lampshades it by saying that imagining a world without these evils requires one where [[HumansAreBastards people are no longer human]]. It makes you wonder who to root for. Even the main character appears to be uncertain in the last scene.

* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: This is {{discussed}} in the film, and actually implied to be true. After the aliens take over, they don't actually do anything bad (aside from the control itself, or lessened emotions), but established world peace and universal healthcare. The cure restores things to normal (i.e. all that goes away), and the film leaves it open whether this is really good.
